Person in custody after window broken at Omni Richmond Hotel

RICHMOND, Va. -- Police converged on the Omni Richmond Hotel, on 12th Street and East Cary Street in Shockoe Slip, Tuesday afternoon, after reports that a person on the upper floor of the hotel busted out a window.

A page from a directory with the word "HELP" on it was thrown out of the window, according to witnesses.

About four hours later, Richmond Police confirmed that they had the person in custody, "unharmed and safe."

We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during this time and want our guests and partners to know that we are back to normal operations."
